"The sweet musty smell of fall is…a fragrance of aspen dust and honey and sunshine. The silence is soft and warm and full, between intermittent rustlings of gold tissue-paper, wrapping up the glow of summer." ~ Ann Zwinger

Photographed near Lockett Meadow on the Upper Basin trail, Flagstaff, Arizona. The smell of aspen, mixed in with the honey colored sunshine back-lit through the trees, created a happy and satisfied feeling, as I meandered through the forest listening to the breeze rustling through the aspen leaves. The warm gold glow through the forest was indeed a sign that summer is wrapping up.
